Back in October, I was standing in line at a taco truck when the sky behind the palm trees just called to me:
And that is all.
Do you like palm trees? Do you have a favorite tree? Any good food trucks in your area?
Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...
I appreciate your comments.
I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.
*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
I do! Being a transplant from Oregon, I find them so "California"
ReplyDeleteThey are so ubiquitous around here that I barely notice them.
DeleteI like that photo, I'd have been drawn to it too. I'm not a fan of palm trees that tall in rows. I'm not a fan of them in my city, they don't fit in with our forests of cedar and Douglas fir! The In-and-Out added them, tall and rowed, as I guess it's their thing? Silly. I loved seeing real coconut palms in Puerto Rico and do like the native California fan palms, in their proper places! Well, I seem to have quite a lot to say about palm trees! I can't think of a favorite tree. There are a lot of food trucks downtown, but I've never been to any of them. If I did it would be one of the taco trucks.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you have palm trees near you. But, yeah, In-and-Out. I get that.
DeleteI love those California tall palm trees. They always amaze me as they do not fall or bend. I have many different favorite trees for different reasons. I like flowering trees like dogwoods, pears, jacarandas.... I like evergreens and very tall trees.
ReplyDeleteOh, they bend. It's just that the wind has to really be blowing.
DeleteI have loved palm trees since I saw them for the first time, visiting family in Florida in 1966. I loved them when I lived in Florida for nearly two years, when I visited San Diego in 1996, in several trips to South Carolina (well, palmettos). I loved them visiting Florida now and again and I'll love them if I ever see them again in person. Why? I'm not really sure. I just love them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you don't get to see them in person that often. They're everywhere here. My dad has one on his front lawn. I see them daily.
DeleteI like it. Reminds me of the skies here with the palm trees.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful shot. One of my favorite Ohio trees is the river birch with its white, paper thin bark. My grandparents had one and I wish I'd planted one instead of some of my other landscape choices. After reading your comment, I think I need to purchase marshmallows. :) Be well!
ReplyDeleteThe trick to s'mores is to *not* put the chocolate in the air fryer. Let the residual heat from the marshmallow melt it.
DeletePalm trees do make me happy. Some types grow in the coastal areas of North Carolina where I live, so I usually get to see them at least once a year! @samanthabwriter from

I like palm trees, when I see them I know I’m far from home and on vacation.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about food trucks. There’s a church here in my town that has “food truck fridays” all summer long. We tend to show up when the lobster truck is there.
There’s also a “food truck Friday” at the local VFW Hall, run by the woman who used to run the event at the church. None of the trucks at VFW go to the church event.
Between the two events there’s lots of variety
Here in Malaysia they’re everywhere--lining streets, beaches, and even tucked into neighborhoods. I’ve grown up seeing them daily, so they feel like part of the landscape.
